High Wheel - History
But right from the start there was a new problem: as keyboards were basically integrated in the new sound, anytime a hand was free sounds had to be switched or chords had to be played. A fact that diminished the ability to "perform" live on stage a lot. And as they regarded themselves always as a "live act" (those who saw them play on stage will definitely agree to that point) a fourth member was seeked and found in Lobi, a friend from high school and accordion-player, who didn't feel very comfortable at first with being assimilated by a rock-band. But after a few drinks and getting a keyboard for free (bought by the other band members) he couldn't resist (1991). And after a few sessions together everybody in the band was sure "that something really magic" was born (as Erich once put it).
Since then lots of gigs have been played, four studio albums have been
produced and lots of dues had to be paid, but they still feel the "magic"
and keep the wheel turning.
